Chinese men's NT 2023

The roster of the warm-ups in Japan:

S - Guo Cheng (vice captain), Wang He-bin, Chen Lei-yang, Liu Meng*

OP - Jiang Chuan (captain), Zhang Guan-hua

OH - Zhang Jing-yin, Yu Yuan-tai, Wang Bin, Zhai De-jun, Deng Xin-peng

MB - Li Yong-zhen, Wang Dong-chen, Rao Shu-han, Peng Shi-kun*

L - Chen Jia-jie, Yang Yi-ming, Qu Zong-shuai

(*): Peng Shi-kun will return after 2023 Asian Club Championship.

Plus:

Liu Meng will also return after 2023 Asian Club Championship.

Yu Yao-chen will keep studying in University of Tsukuba until July.

At least, he won't return NT before August.

I just hope tommorrow's NT would be much better.

-Yes. Much better ... at least in front three sets of Match 2

Match 1 (vs Japan A) : https://weibo.com/tv/show/1034…797?from=old_pc_videoshow

Lineup: Guo Cheng, Jiang Chuan (Zhang Guan-hua), Zhang Jing-yin (Wang Bin, Deng Xin-peng), Yu Yuan-tai (Zhai De-jun), Wang Dong-chen (Rao Shu-han), Li Yong-zhen, Qu Zong-shuai (Yang Yi-ming)

Match 2 (vs Japan A) : https://weibo.com/tv/show/1034…340?from=old_pc_videoshow

Lineup: Guo Cheng (Chen Lei-yang), Jiang Chuan (Zhang Guan-hua), Wang Bin, Yu Yuan-tai (Zhai De-jun), Wang Dong-chen (Deng Xin-peng for serve), Li Yong-zhen, Qu Zong-shuai (Chen Jia-jie)

Wang He-bin didn't play these two matches perhaps due to injury.

In the two matches,

bad: Guo Cheng, Yang Yi-ming, Zhai De-jun, Rao Shu-han, Zhang Guan-hua

ordinary: Li Yong-zhen, Chen Lei-yang, Yu Yuan-tai, Qu Zong-shuai, Chen Jia-jie, Deng Xin-peng

good: Jiang Chuan, Wang Bin (except reception), Wang Dong-chen (in March 2)

waiting for the future: Zhang Jing-yin (only play the match in one set), Wang He-bin (no playing the matches)

the most important thing:

How much time could give Chinese men's NT in order to become the "second-rate strong" men's NT?

In fact, there are almost no time!

At least, until now, Zhang Guan-hua and Yang Yi-ming are still thought to be "Wu Sheng's relatives" and they are so bad from many Chinese fans' words. Zhang Guan-hua could be the best OP in Chinese League for two seasons. Why didn't give the chance to Wang Jing-yi, Wen Zi-hua, Tang Fu-xing and Tang Chuan-hang? Is Liu Ze "the false MVP"? I want to ask Holt and Jaeschke whether Liu Ze could be the main setter of Chinese NT!!!

PS:

In Season 22/23, Zhang Hong-xin (born in 2003, Jiangsu and Chinese U20) could receive Bednorz's and Juantorena's serve balls much better than Yu Yuan-tai. Therefore, ...

Match 3:

China 3-2 Japan B (25-23,20-25,24-26,25-22,15-13)

Jiang Chuan didn't participate in the match.

Liu Meng is back.

China's lineup: Zhang Jing-yin, Yu Yuan-tai, Peng Shi-kun, Li Yong-zhen, Wang He-bin, Jiang Chuan, Qu Zong-shuai

To sum up about China U19 this year: (China U19 couldn't participate in 2023 U19 WCH)

In April, China U19 went to Serbia for warm-ups.

In May, China U19 played against Russia U18 by three matches of victory.

the roster of China U19: http://www.volleychina.org/202…doc-imymnxhc4150279.shtml

the roster of Russia U18:

the new overseas coaches of Chinese men's NTs (including senior, U21 and so on):

Vladimir Khromenkov (Yaroslavich Yaroslavl)

Aleksey Kazakov (Lokomotiv-Belogorie Belgorod)

Anton Mysin (playing in Qatar in two seasons)

After three matches,

Zhang Jing-yin play worse and worse.

Jiang Chuan kept his power for two matches.

How much time do we have?

No one knows.

The "Smile" (the assistant coach, Shen An-dong) after Zhai De-jun's wrong serve

The injury of Wang He-bin

Add: Zhang Jing-yin said, "（王鹤滨）传得太慢了。(Wang He-bin, you set the ball too slowly)" in Set 4 against France.

PS: Wang He-bin isn't Lucas Kampa truly.

I saw for many time after by the score of about 8-16 in one set, Zhang Jing-yin, Li Yong-zhen and Wang Dong-chen were still "smiling".

Why?

These are much worse than losing to Serbia, France and Iran!

I am afraid that they forgot why they chose volleyball.

Week 2 of VNL 2023:

S - Wang He-bin, Guo Cheng, Chen Lei-yang

OP - Jiang Chuan, Zhang Guan-hua

OH - Zhang Jing-yin, Yu Yuan-tai, Wang Bin, Zhai De-jun

MB - Peng Shi-kun, Li Yong-zhen, Wang Dong-chen

L - Qu Zong-shuai, Yang Yi-ming

Before Week 3 of VNL 2023,

Philippine men's NT will play warm-ups with Chinese men's NT and Netherland men's NT.

Bagunas and Espejo might participate in these matches.

Phil

the ad:

Full Name: Zhai De-jun (翟德军)

Birth date: Jan 2, 2000

Site: Outside Hitter / Opposite Hitter - Yes, receiving OP like Mattew Anderson

Height: 1.95 m

Weight: 78 kg

Current club: Shandong Sports Lottery

Why do I give the "ad"? If any overseas clubs wanted him, I give you an important rumour:

"Shandong VC might prefer the other OH, Diao Jian-fei instead of him."

Since Ji Dao-shuai joined Suntory Sunbirds for two seasons as the substitute player of Chinese NT, why doesn't Zhai choose the same way?

Week 3 of VNL 2023:

S - Wang He-bin, Guo Cheng, Chen Lei-yang

OP - Jiang Chuan

OH - Zhang Jing-yin, Yu Yuan-tai, Wang Bin, Zhai De-jun

MB - Peng Shi-kun, Li Yong-zhen, Wang Dong-chen, Rao Shu-han

L - Qu Zong-shuai, Yang Yi-ming

Rao Shu-han replaced Zhang Guan-hua.

In fact, Guo Cheng, Zhang jing-yin and Zhai De-jun all played the matches as OPs.

Li Yong-zhen played the ones as an OH earliest.

I hope the 2 sets and 1 points could be the most important advantage!

At least, I hope Chinese men's NT could stay in VNL for one more year.

Quote from inc0gnito

The Chinese setter from last year's VNL #7 Yu Yaochen is a looker too.. not sure why he is not with the team this year.

Yu Yao-chen is studying in University of Tsukuba for volleyball perhaps he thought Chinese NT is hardly to participate in Olympics 2024.

He also joined Tsukuba SunGAIA, V2 of Japanese League and the result of the club was not good in Season 22/23.

In theory, after VNL, he will be back because in July, the "holiday" will start.

After Round 11, Chinese men's NT is still in the last place.

I hope we could win Canada!

Quote from tomen

Chinese fans are afraid that Chinese men's NT might give up Challenger Cup...

Do you believe it? At least I don't believe.

the date:

Challenger Cup: July 27-30

Chengdu Universiade: July 29 - August 7

Of course, in theory, China will choose Team B (Li Lei, Wen Zi-hua and so on) to participate in Universiade.

However, "二队" (Team B) is just written in women's NT and not in men's NT.

I'm afriad of it.

According to my opinion, Jiang Chuan, Guo Cheng and Chen Jia-jie couldn't participate in Universiade because they are over 27 years old.

Only a rumor:

Team A (head coach is Wu Sheng): Universiade and Asian Games (no about world ranking but could get the better result)

Team B (head coach is Hou Chun-di): Challenger Cup and ACH (about world ranking)

I am waiting for the result such as the rosters a few days later.
